I filled the bowl and these guys would come take one fly off and then come right back for another. Within 10 mins the bowl was empty!

Those are really nice Keith. Did you use the 100-400L, if so, the clearest I've seen lately with that lens.

Hi Gene, thanks for the comments. Yes that is the 100-400L with the 5Dmk2, i have had really good results with this lens although i have heard some dont like it. You can see alot more birds on my site and all have been taken with that lens.
